Data Sheet
Absolute Maximum Ratings
The table below provides maximum and/or minimum values of
critical parameters which will not permanently damage the device,
but for which the operating specification may not hold.
Parameter
Amplifier bias voltage
Operating temperature
Storage temperature
Input photocurrent
APD bias voltage
Fiber bend radius
Notes:
[1] The operating temperature is defined as the temperature of the module case.
[2] The rating is referred to the ambient temperature.

. Although implementation of a current limit is intuitive, it is not recommended as biasing below
the specified M = 3 voltage in the presence of a high optical power has been shown to cause device damage.
